Loyola-Chicago vs. VCU CBB Prediction:
VCU has been dominant throughout the season. They carry momentum from their recent decisive win. Loyola Chicago has shown resilience but may struggle against VCU’s depth and defensive prowess. I’m laying the wood with the Rams at Bovada.lv. VCU is a perfect 3-0 against the spread in the last three meetings between these two teams.
